JAI COURTNEY TALKS ABOUT THE 'DIE HARD' MOVIE WITH ESQUIRE' MAGAZINE

Jai covers the military photo spread for the magazine. Jai talks about what its like being in a remake of two classic franchises such as 'Die Hard', and 'Terminator'. Here is what Jai shared with the magazine:

ESQ: I saw a bunch of your films over the weekend. Objectively, A Good Day to Die Hard is not the best Die Hard movie.

JC: Definitely not the best Die Hard movie. We kinda pushed the envelope as far as bullshit stunts went. But when you’re tackling something that is so iconic and beloved, you really have to pull out a rabbit to win everyone over. It’s funny, because I’m sort of there again with Terminator: Genisys this summer. I mean, that’s the fifth installment in two eighties action franchises that are coming around again.

ESQ: But it’s not like you could have said no to those movies.

JC: Fuck no. They were huge opportunities, and I fought for them.

ESQ: Did you work out with Schwarzenegger when you filmed Terminator?

JC: When we moved to San Francisco to finish the movie, I’d see him in the gym a bunch. He’s certainly not let himself go. It’s admirable, because all I want to do is get old and drop the weights and get fat. You know, not fat fat, but just—I don’t want to care one day. Fuck, I want to eat that bread so bad.
